Rule by Edict

This Lame Duck President, who flaunts his "pen and a cell phone", will impose his personal agenda upon the law-abiding citizens of this country before the end of his term in office.

And it will be unconstitutional.

And because the American public are as sickened by continued armed assaults on the innocent, we will let him get away with it ... even though nothing he can say or do will stop public massacres.

We have watched him apologize before the American People for his inability to stop public assaults on us all, and I understand his frustration.

He is tired.   He sincerely wants to stop the murders and the killings.

I don't blame him a bit.  Yet.

My fear is that he will impose upon us, by Presidential Findings  (call them 'decrees' or 'edicts'), some draconian laws fiat which will undermine our constitutional rights, but will have absolutely no effect on the continued depredations on the innocent by people who are consumed by their own evil intentions.

He is running out of time.  And he is running out of options.
To preserve his place in history, President Obama MUST do "something".

His choices are limited ... he has no GOOD choices, and so he will choose the 'least bad' of the BAD choices available to him.  In his desperation, he will do more harm than good on the honest people of America.

That's the problem with career politicians: they choose to pass laws to correct societal ills for which there are no good solutions.  In the end, he will  compromise our Civil Rights for the sake of an attempt to provide security to a nation at war (however 'undeclared' this war may be).

It will not have the effect he hopes; instead, it will finally tear this nation apart.

Well, we've weathered the storm of presidents who didn't share our particular political views before, and it appears that we will do so again.   Like it or not ... DEMOCRACY!  WHAT A CONCEPT!

God bless you, Mister President.  I don't love your politics, but hey! This is America!
We'll maybe do better with the next President (although I doubt it; I haven't voted for a presidential candidate who actually won for quite a while).

Last words:

This is not going to look good on your resume.






Obama meets with Bloomberg to talk guns | TheHill:

Obama huddled with Bloomberg "as part of the administration's continuing push to address gun violence in America," the White House said in a statement.
 "The two discussed ways to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have access to them and what more could be done at the state and local level to help address gun violence in America," the White House added.
 Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, a close Obama confidante who has spearheaded the White House's gun control push, also attended the meeting.
 Obama has met with a number of high-profile gun control advocates in recent weeks as the White House scrambles to finalize its new proposals

You give our president a lot more credit for good intentions and good will than I can, or is reasonable.
